My son is GQ? WTH?

I ran the Carlsbad 5000 today after a 6 mile warm up run down the coast. I finished 24:57. I planned on a 24 minute finish, but I miscalculated my pace and slowed for Tara and the kids. That’s ok though, it was a blast.

One evening a Cherokee elder told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, "My son, the battle is between the two ‘wolves’ that live inside us all.

…

One is Unhappiness or Evil – It is anger, jealousy, fear, regret, greed, arrogance, sorrow, self-pity, resentment, inferiority, false pride, superiority, weakness and ego.

The other is Happiness or Good – It is joy, love, hope, serenity, benevolence, peace, empathy, kindness, generosity, truth, humility, faith, strength and compassion."

The grandson thought about it for a while and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed." – Cherokee Elder

When cycling to work today I listened to a podcast with Charles Sennott about the Egyptian revolution. I had a revelation. 

The atrocities perpetuated by the government of the United States of America on behalf of our (mostly) corporate interests in the first half of 20th century in South and Central America are mild when compared to those committed in the Middle East in last half.

Facebook rolled out a pretty big upgrade to the Facebook pages. Among the many new improvements you can now post as yourself rather than the page admin. You can also toggle between yourself and the page admin easily, which is pretty slick because it gives you easy access to the Facebook page activity stream and removes a lot of the noise created by your user. There are a few ways to toggle, but the most obvious is found on the right of your Facebook page. See below. 

 

Here’s how you change the setting to post as yourself on your Facebook page. First go into your Facebook page settings. See below.

Next select “Settings”. Uncheck “Posting Preference”.

 

Voila. Now I can be personal when I respond on the Facebook page wall without using ~Aaron in every post.

I am assigning “Getting Things Done” by David Allen as required reading at MindTouch.

However, Amazon is only willing to sell me three copies of the book. What am I missing here? Can someone explain this to me?
